6. Diving with microbubble (MB) levels
6.1
Comparison of dives with MB level L0 and MB level L5
When two Aladin 2G are used simultaneously, one unit is set for example to MB level L5, the
other to L0, the no-stop time will be shortened and level stops will be required before the
diver has the obligation of a decompression stop. These additional level stops help dissipate
the microbubbles.
